Play inverted chords — advanced
What to do
Play the inverted chord shown (major, minor or diminished) from any of the 12 roots.
- Step 1Look at the chord shown and play it on the instrument: it can be major, minor or diminished and will often appear in an inversion.
- Step 2The chord can start from any of the 12 roots, including notes with accidentals (F#, Db, Eb...).
- Step 3Recognise the inversion from the bass note (root, third or fifth) and repeat until you play any inverted chord confidently.
